Open Mic Night

  • Raue Center 26 North Williams Street Crystal Lake, IL, 60014 United States (map)

Whether it’s music, comedy, spoken word, poetry, or something in between, we want to hear it!

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Each performer will have 5–7 minutes on stage. (Please time your act at home so we can keep the night running smoothly.)

  • Space is limited! Each event will feature up to 10 performers and one host, so sign up early to secure your slot.

  • Let us know what kind of performance you’re planning when you register.

Not ready to take the mic just yet? Come enjoy the show anyway—cheer on your fellow performers and get inspired for next time!

TO SIGN UP: Fill out the form HERE.  A finalized performer lineup will be emailed the day before the event. Questions? Please email openmic@rauecenter.org

⚠️ Please Note:
Due to overwhelming interest and limited performance slots, not everyone who signs up will be selected to perform at each Open Mic Night.

✨ To keep things fresh and inclusive:

  • We may prioritize performers who haven’t yet taken the stage this season.

  • If you’ve already performed at two or more Open Mic Nights, we may give others a chance first.

  • We work to balance each lineup with a variety of voices, styles, and acts to create the best experience for both our audience and performers.

🙌 If you don’t make the lineup for a particular date, please continue to sign up as your schedule allows—we rotate performers monthly to keep the spotlight open, diverse, and welcoming for all.

Thank you for being part of what makes Open Mic Night @ Raue Center such a fun and inspiring community event!
